With the action just getting better with time, we move to the Day-5 of the Lanka Premier League 2022 with double header on Super Sunday. Let's get an insight of what can we expect.

Match 7: Colombo Stars vs Galle Gladiators

Match number seven will see Angelo Mathews-led Colombo Stars battling it out against Galle Gladiators captained by Kusal Mendis. Placed last on the table, Gladiators will be looking to earn their first points while their counterparts positioned third might want to ensure that they continue the momentum.

Key Players

  • Niroshan Dickwella was outstanding in the previous game where he thumped a 41-ball 62 to take his side home.
  • Nuwan Pradeep has scalped two wickets in both the games he played, expect him to deliver another decent performance.

Prediction

Galle haven't been able to earn a win this season and are lacking on many terms. Hence, it looks likely that Colombo Stars will be going home with a win if they play decently.

Match 8: Jaffna Kings vs Dambulla Aura

The second ranked team on the table, Jaffna Kings will be going head-to-head against Dambulla Aura in the eighth match. Skipper Thisara Perera will be key to his side Jaffna's chances whereas Dasun Shanaka, Dambulla captain will be having a fair bit of responsibility when he takes the centrestage.

Key Players

  • Jordan Cox looks in decent touch with 72 runs from two matches at a strike rate of 195. He could again be a vital cog for his side.
  • Vijayakanth Viyaskanth has scalped 5 wickets from three innings at an economy of 5.45.

Prediction

Having won both their matches, Jaffna Kings are in good form as their rivals for this game are winless after featuring in two matches. Hence, the momentum should be with them after coming from the last game.
